Gregory Lee Giusti, 48, of San Francisco looked disheveled in a gray T-shirt and khakis as he appeared for the first time before Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman.

Some of these threats are very serious,” Zimmerman said before denying Giusti’s request to be released to the halfway house. He said Giusti may suffer from bipolar disorder and should be receiving treatment.

The magistrate, however, told the U.S. attorney’s office to interview Giusti further to determine if he was mentally competent enough to be released to a halfway house or if he should continue to be detained

Giusti is charged with making obscene, threatening or harassing phone calls to a member of Congress.

Giusti is accused of making the calls to Pelosi because of anger over health care reform. He was arrested Wednesday at a single-room occupancy public housing complex in San Francisco where he lived for the past nine years.

If convicted, Giusti could receive a two-year prison sentence, $250,000 fine and one year of supervised release.

It’s just my opinion but isn’t that sentence rather lenient? Is he considered a patriot? I’m having difficulties with the new definition of ‘patriot’ that’s been overused recently.

Conover was Commander of Jade Helm 15 during the failed takeover of the South. She's also one of the biggest arseholes on Twitter. At night, she can be found drinking Conservative tears while pulling off the wings of flies just because she can. She writes for other sites, too. She's an awful person but she doesn't like to brag about that.

But let me ask you people a genuine, honest question. Can you not understand the frustration of citizens who did everything they possibly could by the rules? They voiced their displeasure to Congress. The made their wishes know that the majority of Americans DID NOT want this particular effort at reforming Health Care.

Yet their voices were ignored and Congress forced this bill on them anyway.

How do you suggest an electorate deal with a legislative body that ignores their wishes?

Martin

Hank – yes. We had a presidential election & Barack Obama was elected President of the United States. It should not come as any great surprise that HCR was part of the agenda. One of Pres. Obama’s campaign promises was HCR! If you all were so opposed then you should have done a better job nominating an opposing candidate & supporting that person. It would seem that the majority of Americans wanted HCR because they elected the one candidate promising reform? Case closed. All the rantings of right might fall into two categories – those with ties and interests in health insurer’s profits and the impressionable who are blindly led by lies & the vitriol of Rush, FOX, Beck and the party of NO.

Maybe the guy is just mentally ill. If so, prison is NOT the best place for him.

Hank

Martin – Yes. Obama was elected. We won’t go into exactly HOW it was he managed to get elected, but he was indeed elected. And yes, one of his campaign promises was to reform Health Care. I don’t think you should be chiding us for not taking him at face value as he has done very few of the things he campaigned promising he would do. That too is another argument.

Let’s stick to Health Care. I’ll over simplify so that even the most challenged, yet zealous Obama-ite might be able to understand why it is the majority of Americans are disappointed with his effort in the area of Health Care Reform.

Candidate promises Health Care Reform. (More likely “free” health care therefore securing the votes of not only the truly needy, but those simply looking for yet another Government handout also.) So, Candidate rides into office on the promise of reforming Health Care. The electorate is ecstatic.

Candidate, once in office, states the only way he can truly reform Health Care is to make more services available to more people and therefore, he needs to reduce the strain on the health care system by reducing the number of people who need it.

In order to lower the number of people needing health care, candidate proposes to euthanize everyone over the age of 60

So, on the one hand, the Candidate was elected on a mandate to reform Health Care. Does that mean we are supposed to just quietly and meekly accept any action he takes in order to try to accomplish that?? However flawed it might be?

Get the picture? Why should we sit back, whether we voted for this idiot or not, and simply accept anything he does in the arena of Health Care because a handful of simpletons proclaim that’s what he was elected to do??
